Police were called to the Oak Ridge Apartments at about 7:30 p.m.

The woman told police she had been at the home of 24-year-old Andrew Burch in the 600 block of North Washington St. where he refused to let her leave and had injured her and placed his hands around her neck as well as attempting to sexually assault her before she finally escaped.
